Hi everyone, a quality discussion on IRC this morning triggered a few question I think are best addressed to this list.
1. I don't question that KDE has several groups that need a mailing list with a private archive, only accessible to subscribers, but what is the reason to make mailing lists hidden? The KDE Community is about Free Software after all, so why this unnecessary secrecy? Here comes a list of those not visible on https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo akademy-announce akademy-participant akademy-registrations akademy-sponsoring akademy-talks akademy-team amarok-committee amarok-devel campkde-organizers community-wg dot-editors ds-announce ds-discuss ds-marketing ds-sponsoring ds-talks ds-team grancanaria k16 kde-apps-org kde-connect-team kde-debian-private kde-enterprise-web kde-ev-campaign kde-ev-hiring kde-ev-membership kde-events-au kde-hci kde-mirrors kde-packager kde-pim-meeting kde-pr kde-press-announce kde-soc-mentor kde-webmaster khtml-devel koffice konq-bugs kontact mailman 2. There are quite a few mailing lists that are dead, either because those are obsolete or were never used. IMHO the never used ones should be removed ASAP, for the obsolete ones the archives can be preserved but the list closed and that should be visible from the description. Hiding dead or obsolete lists is not a good solution IMHO. I suggest a deadline for the dead mailing lists to be closed, how about in a month or so? 3. There are still mailing lists with no description. Why does it have to be so cryptic? Again, this is not questioning about the privacy of a list, but a description should be at least available.
